Popular Dress Novelties.
Black failles, satin foulards, poplins,
moires, and also thinner materials in
silk, canvas, etamine, grenadine,
gauzes. velvet-striped and jetted nets,
are all in high vogue. Black satin
skirts, draped with brocaded gauze,
edged with Chantilly lace, and worn
with bodices of Chantilly net, matching
in design, make thoroughly elegant
toilets, these, like entire lace gowns in
black, enabling the wearer to vary
them by different colored trimmings
and floral garnitures, if desired.
Though sleeves are generally worn
longer than they were, still a large
number of persons, for the sake of cool
ness, elect for those which reach lit
lie below the elbow The fashion, OF
course, entails gloves long enough to
meet the sleeve trimming, and though
mitts and silk gloves are no longer
considered high fashion, they are very
convenient, more comfortable than
kid, and more easily put on and off in
hot weather. Where the elbow sleeve
is disliked, very good substitute is
furnished in the model so popular
everywhere now, which is straight and
full from the shoulder-seam to wrist
band, and very generally made Of a
semi-diaphanous fabric.
Although the dress bodices for young
girls are cut after the fashion of their
elders, in a square or V-shap front and
back, in the case of youthful angular
ity of form it is preferable to have a
high, semi-hansparent chemisette with
full bishop sleeve of the textile. These
guimpes are gathered around the neck
into wide necklet, made of black
velvet, with a narrow pearl embroidery
at the edges, in the front of which is
placed little brooch, something
young" and simple in device. When
the same arrangement is applied to
richer matronly toilets, the dOg-collai
is often covered with garnet pendents,
Sequins, small gold set medallions con.
nected by fine gold chains, diamonds,
jewelled clasps, or clever mingling
OF several gems.
A novelty which may or may not
have run of any duration is the
plated scarf of columbine, made in
tulle, India null or illusion, and worn
around the throat and chest as com.
plement of q low bodice. During the
carnival at Nice, and elsewhere in the
Riviera, half-high dresses of white
faille were in much request, and many
of them were finished off with rufus and
scarfs of this kind, the head-coverine
being a white Grape Tam O. Shantel
cap, or one Of dark Venetian red velvet
made secure by means of long silver
headed pins. This style is now quite
frequently adopted by English brides
maids. iil3
Paris-made evening dresses of soft
white India foulard or surah are fire
quently finished with a graceful scarf
drapcry of the silk crossing the bodic,
diagonally from the shoulder, and thel
forming a Louis XIV. panier at ont
side, while at the other side lighte
textile of gauze, silk, muslin or lace i
draped and arranged to fall like
peplum sash loosely knotted, the end
falling low on the skirt and ending il
a pearl-beaded pendant, to which tn
ends are gathered. Young ladies il
